Well Fassbender as Magneto was straight 100% bad ass in every scene he was in while Jackman as Wolverine has been a mixed bag of at times being just as (if not more) bad ass but also many instances of being watered down.

I have to disagree. Even at his most Wolvie-like(X1) I only ever saw him as just adequet. Much like I see Maguire's Spidey or Keaton's Batman. They just never fully embodied those characters. There were just doing good enough work in the roles.

Fassbender owned the Magneto role much more than Jackman ever could with Wolverine.

And the height thing is secondary. Sure, it would have been nice. But I'm just talking about the internal character traits. Jackman was just never quite mean enough to own the Wolverine character. Wasn't Wolverine as a character based on Eastwood's Dirty Harry? Yeah, Jackman fell short. He'd have made a better Dr. Strange, IMO.

I don't share your opinion, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Fassbender was portrayed as a hunter/predator. Jackman was always defending himself and felt a little held back. Really he's just doesn't seem like a killer. Or better yet Fassbender Magneto didn't give a damn.

Now in terms of character was Wolverine held back because of the PG-13? Maybe. But the Stryker mansion invasion scenes and his stuff in X2 would beg to differ. That is mother****ing Wolverine. And his introduction in the cage fight in X1 is badass encapsulated. I do truly think you don't need to make an R rated Wolverine to make him badass though.

Fass gives a different level. Because they're different characters.

Stryker invasion was the only halfway good wolverine scene. The cage fight was lame; had it not been for his healing power a regular human woulda beat this work class trained "death machine"

Fassenbender and Macovy are head and shoulders the two best performers in X-Men film history, with MF being the best. MF is everything I've ever dreamed Magneto could be, and most importantly he doesn't look like he is about to die.

Dammit why does the hype never allow me to look at polls anymore? Everytime I vote it takes me right back to where I was then it tells me I have already voted. I'm really curious to see what the results are

I love Jackman as Wolverine, but holy crap... Fassbender as Magneto was "pure win." Every scene he was in was the best in the movie. When he rips through that submarine I was was nerding out pretty bad
